説明N-Acetyl-L-cysteine is an N-acetylated derivative of cysteine, which contains a sulfhydryl group in the molecule, which can break the disulfide bond (-S-S-) of the mucin peptide bond, so that the mucin chain becomes a small molecule peptide chain, reducing The viscosity of mucin, so It is a dissolving drug for mucus in mucus, purulent sputum and respiratory tract.

使用An antioxidant mucolytic acetylated amino acid. N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the dietary amino acid l-cysteine. NAC has a high affinity for lung tissue, which it supports through mucolytic and antioxidant action. NAC also enhances glutathione production and plays a role in heavy metal detoxification.

一般的な説明N-Acetyl-L-cysteine is the N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid Lcysteine, and is a precursor in the formation of the antioxidant glutathione in the body. The thiol (sulfhydryl) group confers antioxidant effects and is able to reduce free radicals. This compound is sold as a dietary supplement commonly claiming antioxidant and liver protecting effects. It is used as a cough medicine because it breaks disulfide bonds in mucus and liquefies it, making it easier to cough up. It is also this action of breaking disulfide bonds that makes it useful in thinning the abnormally thick mucus in cystic and pulmonary fibrosis patients. In India it is marketed by Intas under the trade name 'Efetil'.
